Solution: Depth-First Graph Traversal
Explore how to implement depth-first search for graph traversal by using a stack and backtracking to visit all nodes. Understand the time complexity of O(V + E) where V is vertices and E is edges. This lesson helps you apply DFS solutions effectively in coding interviews.

Solution
Explanation
The depth-first graph algorithm uses the idea of backtracking. We exhaustively search all the nodes by going ahead, if possible, or else by backtracking.
Here, to backtrack means to move forward as long as there are no more nodes in the current path, then move backward on the same path to find nodes to traverse.
In the above solution, we use a stack to implement depth-first graph traversal.
